What Can Be Learned from the Lehman Brothers Case Through the Lens of Principal Agent and Stewardship Theory?

Henry Heckelbeck

In this twentieth Henry Heckelbeck adventure, Henry uses his spy skills to go undercover! Henry Heckelbeck’s spy senses kick into full gear when he sees his school principal lurking inside a bookstore. It’s odd enough to run into your principal outside of school, but when he’s also acting suspiciously, Henry knows he has to get to the bottom of it and crack the case. And he’s going to need a disguise or two to figure it out! With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Henry Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

<h4>The first non-fiction book to explore the joys and complexities of adult sibling relationships</h4>'Whether you're a sibling or an only child, Catherine Carr's book will leave you wiser and feeling more at home in the world.' Oliver Burkeman, author of&nbsp;Four Thousand Weeks
For most of us, our sibling relationships are the longest we will ever have. Whether loving or fraught, competitive or codependent, these bonds shape us in lasting ways.

In this heartfelt, judgment-free book, Catherine Carr invites us to look at our brothers and sisters beyond the labels assigned in childhood. Combining real-life stories with expert insight, she explores birth-order stereotypes, favouritism, trauma, blended families, only children, siblings with additional needs, and the pain of estrangement and bereavement.

Thinking about these relationships more deeply may help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

Interwoven with candid interviews with sibling pairs taken from her hit podcast,&nbsp;Relatively,&nbsp;such as Chris and Xand van Tulleken, Johnny and Lillie Flynn, Nick and Gill Hornby, Manni and Reuben Coe, and more
'Truly enlightening, charming and moving. I've learned so much...but I'm still angry with my sister for reading my diary!' Jane Garvey

'It is our least discussed and most formative relationship and Catherine's work is a hilarious, moving and fascinating guide through it.' Chris and Xand van Tulleken
'Eye-opening and true. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for my brother.' Gok Wan

Understanding Our Sibling Relationships as Adults

Im Kalten Krieg lag eine atemberaubende Währungsreserve versteckt: 26 Milliarden D-Mark schlummerten in zwei Hochsicherheitsbunkern, bereit für den Tag X, an dem die Sowjetunion durch Fälschungen oder biologische Kontamination die westdeutsche Währung angreifen könnte.

André Uzulis nimmt dich mit in eine fast unglaubliche Geheimoperation der Bundesrepublik. Von 1966 bis 1988 existierte parallel zu den offiziellen Geldscheinen eine komplett eigenständige D-Mark-Serie - die mysteriöse "Bbk II". Die Geschichte führt dich von den düsteren NS-Fälscherwerkstätten im KZ Sachsenhausen bis in die atomsicheren Tiefen des Bundesbank-Bunkers in Cochem.

Ein faszinierendes Stück deutscher Zeitgeschichte für alle Geschichtsinteressierten, die den verborgenen Mechanismen des Kalten Krieges auf die Spur kommen möchten.

In ein ¿stählernes Stachelschwein¿ solle man die Ukraine - auch über den gegenwärtigen Krieg hinaus - verwandeln, befand EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen 2025. Aufrüstung als Abschreckung: Auch Taiwan und Südkorea sollten - schon zu Zeiten des Kalten Krieges - mit einer ähnlichen ¿Stachelschwein¿-Rolle als ¿Bollwerke des Westens¿ fungieren. Pointiert zeichnet Luciano Canfora Entwicklungslinien nach und erinnert auch an oft übersehene Aspekte der Geschichte: Von der Gründung des Atlantikpakts als ¿Heiligem Gral¿ des Westens bis hin zu dem Paradox, dass der ¿Feind¿ des Westens selbst Teil des Westens sein kann. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts hatten die Gründungsmitglieder der NATO eines gemeinsam: Ihrer kolonialen Herrschaft wurden Grenzen gesetzt; es galt deshalb, ein neues Gewand für alte Strukturen zu finden. Dazu bedurfte es, während sich die kolonisierte Welt im Aufstand befand, auch einer neuen Sprache: Losungen von ¿Freiheit¿ und ¿Demokratie¿ kaschierten die häufig gewaltsame ­Rekolonialisierung. Doch auch heute, im Zuge von Verschiebungen innerhalb eines gepanzerten Westens, zeigt sich das dunkle Erbe seiner ¿Zivilisation¿.

'My view is that the future belongs to the minority of businesses that follow this advice.' Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organizations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. This unique book introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics and practical applications. AI at Work provides a framework that moves beyond scattered AI experiments toward a coherent strategy that will run throughout your entire company. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilizes a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most - a firm's people, its values and its unique organizational identity. The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organizations across sectors racing to implement AI solutions. However, whilst 83% of executives report that AI is a top priority for their organization, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy. This book fills a critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering: · A practical framework applicable across industries; · Equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations and real-world applications; · A human-centred approach that addresses concerns about AI replacing workers; and · Case studies and examples from diverse sectors.

Forty Years of Innovation in Chinese Economic Theory

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant comes an immersive new suspense novel: Fifteen years ago, Frida and her brother escaped a cult. Now her brother is the prime suspect in a murder investigation—and it isn’t the first time. “The most jaw-dropping ride of the year.” —Marie Claire “Michallon masterfully weaves past cult abuse into a taut present-day procedural, blending psychological complexity with enough terror to make you white-knuckle your beach chair.”—Oprah Daily Innocence doesn't bail you out; it just makes you easier to trap. Frida and Gabriel arrive seeking a fresh start at the stunning Ara Hotel in the secluded desert of Escalante, Utah. Once so close they were able to finish each other’s sentences, they’ve grown apart in recent years after a sudden, unspeakable tragedy. Now, at the luxe resort, they are ready to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradise—until the dead body of a beautiful young woman who was vacationing at the Ara with her powerful, much older husband is discovered. When the local police arrive and suspicion quickly falls on Gabriel, Frida is forced to revisit memories from their upbringing in a cloistered cult in upstate New York, their dramatic escape, and the scandal that followed. Frida’s belief in Gabriel’s innocence never wavered at the time, but now even she can’t ignore the evidence mounting against him. Alternating between past and present timelines, Our Last Resort builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and poses the question: how well do we ever really know those we love? Multi-layered, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon’s latest suspense novel is a nail-biter until the last page, cementing her status as “one of the most daring, exciting new voices in psychological suspense.” (Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of It Could Have Been Her)

A Novel

Our Last Resort

The first book to investigate what writers, publishers, and editors knew about the Stasi and how, rethinking the relationship between knowledge, secrecy, intuition, trust, and agency under an authoritarian regime.

While much scholarship has explored what the East German Ministry for State Security - the Stasi - knew about writers, publishers, editors, and others involved in the GDR's literary sphere, none has asked what these groups knew about the Stasi, how they acquired that knowledge, and how it circulated. The present book flips the approach of existing scholarship to ask those questions, thus offering an innovative approach to studying the production and circulation of literature in East Germany. It uncovers the myriad ways in which those who wrote, published, or supported literary production that was critical of the state negotiated, circumvented, and actively confronted the threat posed by surveillance and control. The study draws on original interviews, Stasi files, and writings by Uwe Kolbe, Ekkehard Maaß, Christa Moog, Gabriele Stötzer, Bernd Wagner, and Bettina Wegner, as well as works by Stefan Heym, Ralf-Günter Krolkiewicz, Günter Kunert, and Christa Wolf. The book shows that the Stasi was a kind of "public secret"-a known unknown that was positioned between revelation and concealment. It engages with theoretical frameworks drawn from anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, surveillance studies and cultural studies to reconceptualize the relationship between knowledge, secrecy, intuition, trust, and agency in an authoritarian context.
